Vendor and Exhibitor Applications Open for Long Beach Pride 2024

Applications are open for vendors and exhibitors at the 41st annual Long Beach Pride Festival, May 18 and 19, 2024. Businesses, food trucks and food booth vendors are all invited to be part of one of the season’s most anticipated celebrations, and we’ve lowered participation fees this year to make it easier to join us.

The reason is personal. Our President, Tonya Martin, has watched many businesses in our community close their doors.

As businesses across Long Beach and the world continue to recoup from the pandemic, we are taking this opportunity to lower the fees to participate this year. … We have witnessed many of our businesses closing in the LGBTQ+ community as well as our allie’s businesses and we all must do our part to support each other. This is how we rise.

There are four ways to take part: a general vendor or exhibitor booth, an information booth, a food truck or a food booth. Space is limited and assigned first come, first served, so we encourage everyone to apply early.

We welcome businesses of every size. Local artisans and established brands are equally at home here, as are food trucks and cooks who want to share their flavors with the community.

Vendors and exhibitors meet thousands of festivalgoers in a celebratory setting. It’s a chance to show your products and services, talk with people face to face and connect with a wide audience. It’s also a visible way to stand with the LGBTQ+ community and be part of a celebration of diversity and inclusion.

The festival runs May 18 and 19, 2024, and the Long Beach Pride Parade steps off May 19. The 2024 theme is “The Rhythm of the Rainbow,” a celebration of music as a force that brings people together, and rapper Saucy Santana will headline the festival on Saturday, May 18. Festival tickets are already on sale, and the parade is free and open to everyone.

Long Beach Pride is a nonprofit known for its annual Pride festival, parade and Teen Pride events. We’ve been celebrating the LGBTQ+ community since 1984, advocating for inclusion and diversity, and we’d love to have your business with us at the first Pride of the season.
